معرفی
Miloš Stojaković is a Full Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Informatics, Faculty of Sciences, University of Novi Sad, Serbia. He has been with the university since 1999, progressing from student to Assistant Professor (2006-2011), Associate Professor (2011-2016), and Full Professor (2016-present). He leads the Foundations of Computer Science group and serves as an editor for Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science and the Novi Sad Journal of Mathematics.
- Ph.D. in Computer Science, ETH Zurich (2005), advisors: Emo Welzl and Tibor Szabó
- M.Sc. in Computer Science, University of Novi Sad (2001), advisor: Joviša Žunić
- B.Sc. in Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Novi Sad (1999)
Stojaković's research centers on positional games, discrete and computational geometry, discrete random structures, combinatorial algorithms, and graph theory. His work explores theoretical aspects of combinatorial games, particularly Maker-Breaker type games on graphs and other structures. He investigates geometric properties of discrete structures and develops algorithms for geometric problems. His research has applications in theoretical computer science and combinatorics, with significant contributions to understanding game strategies, structural properties, and computational complexity in discrete settings.
Stojaković's recent publications (2016-2025) primarily focus on positional games, extending classical results to new settings like posets, generalized saturation, and constructor-blocker variants. He examines computational complexity aspects and structural properties of game outcomes. His work often involves collaborations with leading researchers including Dan Hefetz, Michael Krivelevich, and Tibor Szabó, demonstrating the ongoing vitality of combinatorial game theory and its connections to other areas of discrete mathematics.
- "Dr Z. Đinđić Award" for the best young scientist in Vojvodina (2008)
- "Best Student of University of Novi Sad Award" (1998/99)
Stojaković has supervised three PhD students to completion: Mirjana Mikalački (2014), Marko Savić (2018), and Jelena Stratijev (2023). His research has been supported by various grants, including the 1 million RSD grant accompanying the Dr Z. Đinđić Award. He has organized multiple workshops including the Novi Sad Workshop on Foundations of Computer Science series (2015, 2017, 2024) and co-organized the Mini-Workshop on Positional Games at Oberwolfach Research Institute (2018) and the Positional Games workshop within A Sparse (Graphs) Coalition (2021).
Since 2018, Stojaković has led the Foundations of Computer Science group at the University of Novi Sad. He maintains active international collaborations, having taught courses at Eötvös Loránd University Budapest, University of Buenos Aires, University of Szeged, University of Banja Luka, University of Groningen, and Graz University of Technology. His research group focuses on theoretical aspects of combinatorial games, discrete geometry, and related computational problems, contributing significantly to these fields through publications, workshops, and academic leadership.
